The end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018 no doubt leaves a sour taste in the mouths of all Auburn football fans. The Tigers ended November with wins over No. one ranked Georgia and No. one ranked Alabama to make the SEC championship and rose to as high as No. 2 in the playoff rankings.
However, what seemed like a dream season for the Tigers quickly turned to disaster. The Tigers lost their rematch with Georgia in the SEC championship game and missed the college football playoff and then lost to UCF in the peach bowl, while both Georgia and Alabama made the playoff and eventually the championship game, which Alabama won.
